Dawn on the big lake and the water is smoking — a low mist sliding across toward Prudenville while the loons work out their morning business somewhere past the drop-off. C.L.C lawn & Landscaping Services starts early on days like that, mowing, trimming and edging the shoreline lots and the places set back in the pines, with cleanups bracketing either end of the season. In winter the routine flips over to pushing back drives and turnarounds, clearing walks, and salting where ice sets up hard along the eaves lines. Twenty thousand acres of water writes the weather here, and the trick is simply to stay a step ahead of it. A yard cut clean, a drive pushed open — small things, and they add up to a place that runs.
